Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung zur Speicherung und Verabreichung von Spüllösungen, vorzugsweise im Medizinbereich wie für allgemeine und endoskopische Operationen, mit einem Spüllösungsbeutel, der in einem starren Behälter angeordnet ist.
Ziel dieser Entwicklung ist die Aufbereitung, Speicherung und mobile Verabreichung vor Ort hergestellter Spüllösungen. Ein mobiler Flüssigkeitsspeicher der mit einem sterilen Einmalartikel bestückt wird, eine exakte Volumenbestimmung und eine sterile Entnahme und Verabreichung sollen eine einfache und kostengünstige Anwendung ermöglichen.
Dabei können sowohl Spüllösungen für endoskopische und allgemein chirurgische Operationen, z.B. Gynäkologie, Urologie, Arthroskopie durch die Verwendung von Purisole-, Ringer-, Kochsalzkonzentraten, als auch Lösungen für therapeutische Anwendungen hergestellt werden.
Eine Anwendung dieser Entwicklung für andere Bereiche wie z.B. für die Veterinärmedizin, im Labor oder in der Biologie und in der Pharmazie als hochreine Spülflüssigkeit oder auch Ansatzmedium zur Herstellung von Medikamenten, Zellkulturen und dergleichen ist vorstellbar und praktikabel.
Der Erfindung liegt insbesondere die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Anordnung zur Speicherung und Verabreichung von Spüllösungen anzugeben, die hohe Hygieneanforderungen erfüllt und eine sterile Entnahme und einfache Bedienung und Verabreichung der Spülflüssigkeit ermöglicht.
The invention relates to an arrangement for the storage and administration of rinsing solutions, preferably in the medical field as for general and endoscopic operations, with a rinsing solution bag, which is arranged in a rigid container.
The aim of this development is the preparation, storage and mobile administration of locally prepared rinsing solutions. A mobile fluid storage that is equipped with a sterile disposable item, an accurate volume determination and a sterile collection and administration to allow a simple and inexpensive application.
Both rinse solutions for endoscopic and general surgical operations, such as gynecology, urology, arthroscopy can be prepared by the use of purisole, Ringer, saline concentrates, as well as solutions for therapeutic applications.
An application of this development for other areas such as veterinary medicine, in the laboratory or in biology and in pharmacy as a high-purity rinsing liquid or approach medium for the production of drugs, cell cultures and the like is conceivable and practicable.
The invention is in particular the object of specifying an arrangement for storing and administering rinsing solutions, which meets high hygiene requirements and allows sterile removal and easy operation and administration of the rinsing liquid.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen gekennzeichnet.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

Medizinische Spüllösungen werden in der Regel aus destilliertem Wasser als Grundstoff, der zentral hergestellt wird, in einem zentralen Produktionsprozess zu Spüllösungen weiterverarbeitet und mit erheblichen Logistikkosten zum Anwendungsort gebracht.Medical rinse solutions are usually processed from distilled water as a raw material, which is produced centrally, in a central production process to rinse solutions and brought to the site with significant logistics costs.

Für den medizinischen Einsatz werden beispielsweise industriell hergestellte Spüllösungen mit Volumen 3l, 5l, 10l dem Krankenhaus zur Verfügung gestellt und mit großem innerbetrieblichem, personellem Logistikeinsatz zwischen- u. endgelagert.For medical use, for example, industrially produced rinsing solutions with volume 3l, 5l, 10l are made available to the hospital and with large in-house, staff logistics interim u. disposed of.

Für die Dauer der Operation bzw. Untersuchung reichen diese Beutelvolumina beispielhaft für eine Blasenoperation mit ca. 60 l Spülflüssigkeit nicht aus, sodass ein Springer außerhalb des zentralen OP-Bereiches verfügbar sein muss, um die Beutel bereit zu stellen, aufzuwärmen und zuzureichen.By way of example, for the duration of the surgery or exam, these bag volumes will not be sufficient for bladder surgery with approximately 60 L of rinse fluid, so a jumper outside the central OR area must be available to provide, warm and deliver the pouches.

Die Verabreichung erfolgt teils gravimetrisch oder auch mit Beutel-Druckmanschetten. Zusätzlich sind oft teure Einmalartikel wie beispielsweise Pumpensegmente oder auch für die Beutelwärmer erforderlich.
Ein erheblicher Nachteil z.B. bei endoskopischen Untersuchungen ist die mangelnde Sicht durch flotierendes Gewebe oder pulsierende Spülflüssigkeit, weil beispielsweise der erforderliche Spülflüssigkeitsdruck zwischen 0,1 bar bis 0,3 bar nicht konstant gehalten wird.
Zur Verbesserung der Wundhygiene ist großzügig zu spülen. Dies verursacht personelle- und auch Materialkosten.
Die regulativen und normativen Anforderungen an die Qualität des Grundstoffs Wassers sind dabei so hoch, dass es bisher nicht möglich ist, vor Ort, z.B. im Krankenhaus, verifizierbare medizinische Spüllösungen auf Bedarf herzustellen. Zum einen sind dies die hohen mikrobiologischen- und zum anderen die erforderlichen chemischen Anforderungen an den Grundstoff Wasser, die einer verifizier- und nachweisbaren normativ geforderten Qualität der vor Ort bedarfsgesteuerten Herstellung entgegenstehen.
The administration takes place partly gravimetrically or with bag pressure cuffs. In addition, often expensive disposable items such as pump segments or for the bag warmer are required.
A considerable disadvantage, for example in endoscopic examinations, is the lack of visibility through floating tissue or pulsating rinsing fluid, because, for example, the required rinsing fluid pressure between 0.1 bar and 0.3 bar is not kept constant.
To improve wound hygiene, rinse generously. This causes personnel and material costs.
The regulatory and normative demands on the quality of the raw material water are so high that it is not yet possible to produce verifiable medical rinsing solutions on-site, eg in hospitals. On the one hand, these are the high microbiological and, on the other hand, the required chemical requirements for the raw material water, which preclude a verifiable and verifiable normatively demanded quality of on-site demand-controlled production.

Die dezentrale Herstellung von medizinischen Spüllösungen durch Krankenhauspersonal erfordert sichere Abläufe sowohl in der Bedienung als auch in der Zuverlässigkeit der Technik hinsichtlich der Spüllösungsqualität.The decentralized production of medical rinsing solutions by hospital personnel requires safe procedures both in the operation and in the reliability of the technology with regard to the rinsing solution quality.

Notwendige Verbesserungen, Zweck und Ziel dieser Erfindung sind deshalb die kostengünstige, anwenderfreundliche vor-Ort-Herstellung einer Spüllösung mit geringem Personaleinsatz und einem der Untersuchung bzw. auch mehreren Operationen entsprechenden Spülvolumen.
Eine besondere Bedeutung kommt der unterbrechungsfreien Verabreichung ohne zusätzlichen personellen Mehraufwand unter Einhaltung von Anwendungstemperatur und Hygiene der Lösung zu.
Necessary improvements, purpose and purpose of this invention are therefore the cost-effective, user-friendly on-site production of a rinsing solution with low personnel and a corresponding to the investigation or several operations rinsing volume.
Of particular importance is the uninterrupted administration without additional additional human effort while maintaining the application temperature and hygiene of the solution.

Dabei sollen eine raumsparende Technik zur Herstellung der Spüllösung und ein mobiler Spüllösungsbehälter zum Einsatz kommen, der die wesentlichen Komponenten für hohe Hygiene, Sicherheit, einfache Bedienung und einen konstanten Fluss und Druck zur Verabreichung der Spülflüssigkeit enthält.In this case, a space-saving technique for the preparation of the rinse solution and a mobile rinse solution container are used, which contains the essential components for high hygiene, safety, ease of use and a constant flow and pressure to administer the rinse.

Restmengen sollen einfach zu entsorgen sein.Remaining quantities should be easy to dispose of.

Eine hohe Verfügbarkeit der Geräte bei allen Mess- und Überwachungsaufgaben hinsichtlich ihrer Eigensicherheit und eine nur entfernte Ausfallwahrscheinlichkeit ist wichtig, um unter allen Umständen eine katastrophale Auswirkung für den Patienten zu vermeiden, bzw. die Qualität oder auch Toxizität der erzeugten Flüssigkeit einwandfrei in den zugesicherten Akzeptanzkriterien zu überwachen.A high availability of the devices in all measuring and monitoring tasks with regard to their intrinsic safety and only a remote probability of failure is important in order to avoid a catastrophic effect on the patient under all circumstances, or the quality or toxicity of the liquid produced in the assured acceptance criteria to monitor.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß wirkungsvoll dadurch gelöst, dass zur Herstellung der Spüllösung die Kombination einer Umkehrosmosemembrane und zweier weiterer Filterstufen beispielsweise Ultra-oder Sterilfilter, bevorzugt als Kapillarmembran, genutzt werden.
Diese Filterkombination und weitere Bestandteile werden nachfolgend als Füllstation bezeichnet.
This object is achieved according to the invention effectively in that for the preparation of the rinsing solution, the combination of a reverse osmosis membrane and two further filter stages, for example ultra or sterile filters, preferably as a capillary membrane, are used.
This filter combination and other components are referred to below as the filling station.

Zur Herstellung von beispielsweise ca. 60 I gebrauchsfertiger Purisolelösung sind ca. 561 sterilfiltriertes Permeat mit ca. 3,6l hochkonzentriertem Purisolekonzentrat proportional so zu verdünnen bzw. zu mischen, dass die entstandene Spüllösung ohne weitere Prüfungen zur intra- und postoperativen Blasenspülung zur Anwendung kommen kann.To prepare, for example, about 60 l ready-to-use purisol solution, approximately 561 sterile-filtered permeate with approximately 3.6 l of highly concentrated purisoleconate are to be proportionally diluted or mixed in such a way that the resulting rinsing solution can be used without further tests for intraoperative and postoperative rinsing with the bladder ,

Die vorgenannte Spüllösung steht stellvertretend z.B. für Ringer -, und/oder andere Natriumchloridlösungen, die insbesondere im Bereich der Chirurgie, aber auch in andren medizinischen bzw. genannten Bereichen eingesetzt werden können. Wobei die Konzentrate und deren Mischungsverhältnisse den jeweiligen Anwendungen anzupassen sind.The aforementioned rinse solution is representative of e.g. for Ringer -, and / or other sodium chloride solutions, which can be used in particular in the field of surgery, but also in other medical or mentioned areas. The concentrates and their mixing ratios are to be adapted to the respective applications.

Das beschriebene Verfahren und die eingesetzten Komponenten und Volumen sind jedoch nicht darauf reduziert. Bedingt durch die hochreinen Wirkmittel, das exakte Mischen und Verdünnen ist eine große Bandbreite von Spüllösungen herstellbar.However, the described method and the components and volumes used are not reduced to this. Due to the high-purity active ingredients, the exact mixing and dilution, a wide range of rinsing solutions can be produced.

Vorteilhafterweise wird durch die hohe Konzentration auch das Keimwachstum des Konzentrates nahezu verhindert.Advantageously, the growth of germs of the concentrate is almost prevented by the high concentration.

Zur Aufbereitung der Spüllösung wird das Konzentratbehältnis das vorteilhaft als Beutel ausgeführt ist an vorbereitete Aufnahmen der Füllstationskonzentratwaage gehängt und der Mischvorgang eingeleitet. Dabei wird zunächst durch das bekannte Beutelgewicht die Waage verifiziert.For the preparation of the rinsing solution, the concentrate container, which is advantageously designed as a bag, is hung on prepared receptacles of the filling station concentrate scale and the mixing process is initiated. Initially, the balance is verified by the known bag weight.

Die Füllstationsseitigen Anschlüsse des Konzentrats- als auch des noch zu beschreibenden Spüllösungsbeutels werden an selbstreinigende, verwechslungssichere Anschluss-Konnektoren der Füllstation, die in dieser Anmeldung beispielsweise als Klappenlösungen ausgeführt sind, aber auch geräteseitig als flexible Schlauchleitung ausgeführt sein können, durch den Anwender herbeigeführt.The Füllstationsseitigen connections of the concentrate as well as the rinsing solution bag to be described will be brought to self-cleaning, foolproof connection connectors of the filling station, which are executed in this application, for example, as flap solutions, but also on the device side can be designed as a flexible hose, brought by the user.

Mit großem Vorteil wird ein fahrbarer Spüllösungsbehälter, der vorzugsweise als Druckbehälter ausgebildet ist, mit einem einlegbaren sterilen Spülflüssigkeitsbeutel bestückt, der mit einem entsprechend großen Volumen befüllt wird.With great advantage, a mobile rinsing solution container, which is preferably designed as a pressure vessel, equipped with an insertable sterile rinsing liquid bag, which is filled with a correspondingly large volume.

Der Spüllösungsbeutel beinhaltet einen unlösbaren Anschlusskonnektor, der durch den verriegelbaren Deckel des Druckbehälters durchgesteckt und fixiert werden kann. Der Anschlusskonnektor kann mit weiterführenden flexiblen Schlauchleitungen versehen werden, die als Füll- bzw. Transferleitungen ausgebildet sind. Wobei der Konnektor mit Vorteil auch nur einen Schlauch ausgeführt sein kann der wahlweise und in Abhängigkeit der Sterilitätsanforderungen sowohl als Füll- als auch als Transferschlauch zu verwenden ist.The rinsing solution bag contains a permanent connection connector, which can be pushed through and fixed by the lockable lid of the pressure vessel. The connection connector can be provided with continuing flexible hose lines, which are designed as filling or transfer lines. Whereby the Connector can be carried out with advantage only a hose which can be used either as a filling or as a transfer hose depending on the sterility requirements.

Zur Verabreichung der Spülflüssigkeit am Anwendungsort kann an den Transferanschluss des Spüllösungskonnektors ein Überleitsystem beispielsweise mit einem Endoskopiesystem verbunden werden. Ein Anschluss an andre in der Chirurgie üblichen Systemen beispielweise an Spül-Saugsysteme ist ebenfalls praktikabel und möglich.For administration of the rinsing liquid at the point of use, a transfer system, for example, can be connected to the transfer connection of the rinsing solution connector, for example with an endoscopy system. A connection to other systems commonly used in surgery, for example to irrigation suction systems is also practicable and possible.

Gelöst wurde die Aufgabe der einfachen Bedienung und der Verabreichung mit konstantem Spülfluss und -Druck, indem Druckgas (Luft) entweder vorzugsweise in den Druckbehälter oder auch wahlweise direkt in den Spülflüssigkeitsbeutel eingeleitet wird.The object of the simple operation and administration with constant purge flow and pressure has been solved by pressurized gas (air) is preferably introduced either into the pressure vessel or optionally directly into the rinsing liquid bag.

Dabei wird mit Vorteil die Druckgasregelung und Überwachung innerhalb des fahrbaren Spüllösungsbehälters eingerichtet. Druckgaserzeugung und Einspeisung können beispielsweise durch eine hauseigene Quelle, aber auch geräteseitig erzeugt werden.In this case, the compressed gas control and monitoring within the mobile flushing solution container is advantageously established. Compressed gas production and feed can be generated for example by an in-house source, but also on the device side.

Die Propörtionierung von Konzentrat und Permeat erfolgt mittels einer Konzentrat- und einer Spüllösungsbehälterwaage, wobei die Konzentratwaage in der Füllstation mit jedem Anhängen des befüllten Konzentratbehälters verfiziert wird.The Propörtionierung of concentrate and permeate by means of a concentrate and a rinsing solution container scale, the concentrate scale is verified in the filling station with each attachment of the filled concentrate container.

Dazu beinhaltet der fahrbare Spüllösungsbehälter mit Vorteil eine Waage, die den Füllzustand überwacht und die aus Sicherheitsgründen mittels Referenzgewicht automatisch zu testen ist.For this, the mobile flushing solution container advantageously includes a balance which monitors the filling state and which, for safety reasons, is to be automatically tested by means of reference weight.

Zur Homogenisierung und Temperierung wird hochreines bzw. annähernd steriles Permeat erwärmt und mit zudosiertem Konzentrat in einem Mischblock gemischt.For homogenization and temperature control, highly pure or approximately sterile permeate is heated and mixed with added concentrate in a mixing block.

Vor Einleitung in einen sterilen Spüllösungsbehälter-/Beutel erfolgte eine zweite Sterilfiltrierung der gemischten Lösung.Prior to introduction into a sterile rinse solution / bag, a second sterile filtration of the mixed solution was performed.

Die Reinigung des Systems bzw. Keimprävention und Reduktion werden durch die Kombination aus einem gering toxischen, auf Zitrat basierenden Desinfektions- u. Reinigungsmittel mit einer Wassererwärmung ausgeführt. Wobei sowohl die Primär-, als auch die Sekundärseite der Umkehrosmose getrennt voneinander mittels einer zusätzlichen Pumpe auch ohne transmembranen Fluss zu desinfizieren bzw. zu reinigen sind.The cleaning of the system or germ prevention and reduction by the combination of a low-toxic, based on citrate disinfection u. Detergent with a warming water running. Wherein both the primary and the secondary side of the reverse osmosis are to be disinfected or cleaned separately by means of an additional pump without transmembrane flow.

Prinzipiell werden dabei alle prozessrelevanten Daten sowohl vom Betriebs- als auch vom Schutzrechner erfasst und ggf. berechnet. Die Messergebnisse werden vom Betriebs- zum Schutzrechner und umgekehrt gesendet. Jeder Rechner vergleicht dabei die Messergebnisse mit den eigenen und gibt eine Bestätigung zurück.In principle, all process-relevant data from both the operating and the protection computer are recorded and possibly calculated. The measurement results are sent from the factory to the protection computer and vice versa. Each computer compares the measurement results with its own and returns a confirmation.

Die Daten werden nach der Bestätigung von Betriebs- und Schutzrechner zusammen mit einer Prüfsumme in den Trenddatenspeicher geschrieben, der vorzugsweise als Eprom, aber auch als anderes Speichermedium ausgebildet sein kann.The data are written to the confirmation of operation and protection computer together with a checksum in the trend data memory, which may be preferably designed as Eprom, but also as another storage medium.

Die Elektronik des fahrbaren Spüllösungsbehälters kann mittels aufladbaren Akkus betrieben werden, an der Anzeige des fahrbaren Spüllösungsbehälter werden alle erforderlichen Parameter als auch deren Abweichungen wie beispielsweise Gewicht, Temperatur und Behälterdruck angezeigt.The electronics of the mobile rinsing solution tank can be operated by means of rechargeable batteries, on the display of the mobile rinsing solution container all required parameters and their deviations such as weight, temperature and tank pressure are displayed.

Indem ein drahtloser Datenaustausch zwischen Füllstation und fahrbarem Spüllösungsbehälter hergestellt wird, erfolgt beispielsweise die Überwachung der Befüllung, der Proportionalität und der Temperatur.By establishing a wireless data exchange between filling station and mobile rinsing solution container, for example, the monitoring of the filling, the proportionality and the temperature takes place.

Weitere Einzelheiten und Vorteile sind in den nachfolgend dargestellten Figuren beschrieben.Further details and advantages are described in the figures shown below.

Figur 1 zeigt die gesamte Aufbereitung bis hin zur Anwendung. Die aufzubereitende Flüssigkeit kann beispielsweise über eine optionale Vorfiltration (1), die als Partikel- und oder weiterer Filterstufen zur Eliminierung von Härtebildnern und Chlor ausgebildet sein kann, zur RO-Anlage (2) weitergeleitet. FIG. 1 shows the entire preparation up to the application. The liquid to be treated can be forwarded to the RO system (2), for example, via an optional prefiltration (1), which can be designed as particle and / or further filter stages for the elimination of hardness formers and chlorine.

Zur Eliminierung mikrobiologischer Kontamination beinhaltet die RO (2) beispielsweise eine Desinfektionseinheit (4) mit der, ohne Zutun des Anwenders, eine chemothermische Desinfektion durchführbar ist. Kanister (67) beinhaltet das Desinfektions-/Reinigungsmittel das mit Vorteil als citrathaltige Lösung verwendet wird. Die weitere Funktion von Einrichtung (4) leitet sich aus der Darstellung ab und wird hier nicht weiter beschrieben. Selbstverständlich besteht die Möglichkeit einer Heißreinigung der RO-Anlage ohne Verwendung weiterer Desinfektionsmittel.
Das von der RO-Anlage (2) erzeugte Permeat wird über der Primärseite des Filters (3) zirkuliert. Das von der RO-Steuerung (58) mittels nicht dargestellter Leitfähigkeitsmessung freigegebene Permeat gelangt zur Sekundärseite des Filters (3) und über Permeatfreigabeventil (5) zur Mischeinheit (12).
Eventuell bereits von der RO-Anlage (2) vorgewärmtes Permeat wird über Heizer (9) und Temperaturregler (8,13) auf die erforderliche Spüllösungstemperatur erwärmt. Über Leitung (11) wird das Permeat einer Mischkammer (15) zugeführt, in die mittels Pumpe (23) Konzentrat aus Beutel (26) und Leitung (25), dem Konnektor (24) und geräteseitigem Anschlusskonnektor (22) zugeführt wird.
Dabei ist die Konzentratklappe (20) geöffnet, Detektor (19) meldet "offen", weil Magnet (21) die erforderliche Distanz überschritten hat. Das Konzentratspülventil (17) wird nur bei geschlossener Klappe (20) und entsprechend ausgewählten bzw. voreingestellten Spülprogrammen geöffnet, um den Anschlusskonnektor (22) zu reinigen.
Konzentratbeutel (26) ist mit seinen Aufhängungen (27) in entsprechende Haken der Konzentratbeutelwaage (28) eingehängt.
Die zweite Leitfähigkeits- und Temperaturmessung (16) detektiert aus Gründen der Redundanz die entsprechenden Werte. Die durch Kammer (15) homogen gemischte und temperierte Spülflüssigkeit gelangt über Leitung (29) zu einem zweiten Sterilfilter (30). Fehlerhafte Spülflüssigkeit wird über Bypassventil (31) zum Abfluss (100) verworfen.
Bei geschlossenem Ventil (31) und geöffnetem Spüllösungsfreigabeventil (33) wird die Spülflüssigkeit über den geräteseitigen Spüllösungskonnektor (35) den daran konnektierten Beutelkonnektor (38), Leitung (39) zum fahrbaren Spüllösungsbehälter (40) geleitet, in dem ein steriler Spüllösungsbeutel (82) eingelegt ist. Die Möglichkeit zur Entnahme einer Spüllösungsprobenmenge besteht an Probeentnahme (32).
To eliminate microbiological contamination, the RO (2) includes, for example, a disinfection unit (4) with which, without the user's help, a chemothermal disinfection is feasible. Canister (67) contains the disinfectant / cleaning agent which is advantageously used as citrate-containing solution. The further function of device (4) is derived from the representation and will not be described further here. Of course, there is the possibility of a hot cleaning of the RO system without the use of other disinfectants.
The permeate produced by the RO system (2) is circulated above the primary side of the filter (3). The permeate released by the RO controller (58) by means of conductivity measurement (not shown) reaches the secondary side of the filter (3) and the permeate release valve (5) to the mixing unit (12).
Any pre-heated permeate already from the RO plant (2) is heated to the required rinsing solution temperature via the heater (9) and temperature regulator (8,13). Via line (11), the permeate is fed to a mixing chamber (15), into which by means of pump (23) concentrate from bag (26) and line (25), the connector (24) and device-side connection connector (22) is supplied.
The concentrate flap (20) is opened, detector (19) reports "open" because magnet (21) has exceeded the required distance. The concentrate flushing valve (17) is opened only with the flap (20) closed and according to selected or preset flushing programs, in order to clean the connection connector (22).
Concentrate bag (26) is hung with its suspensions (27) in corresponding hooks of the concentrate bag scale (28).
The second conductivity and temperature measurement (16) detects the corresponding values for reasons of redundancy. The rinsing liquid homogeneously mixed and tempered by chamber (15) passes via line (29) to a second sterile filter (30). Defective flushing liquid is discarded via bypass valve (31) to drain (100).
When the valve (31) is closed and the rinsing solution release valve (33) is open, the rinsing liquid is conducted via the device-side rinse solution connector (35) to the connected pouch connector (38), line (39) to the mobile rinsing solution container (40), in which a sterile rinsing solution bag (82) is provided. is inserted. The possibility of taking a sample of rinsing solution consists of sampling (32).

Der fahrbare Spüllösungsbehälter beinhaltet eine Waage (43), die den jeweiligen Füllstand bzw. das Gewicht der Spülmenge registriert. Ebenfalls ist ein Temperaturfühler (59) so angebracht, dass die Spülflüssigkeitstemperatur indirekt messbar ist.The mobile flushing solution container includes a balance (43), which registers the respective level or the weight of the flushing amount. Also, a temperature sensor (59) is mounted so that the Spülflüssigkeitstemperatur is indirectly measurable.

Bei geschlossener Spüllösungsklappe (36) und bei Auswahl und Einleitung eines entsprechenden Spülprogrammes wird der geräteseitige Konnektor (35) mit steriler Flüssigkeit bzw. Reinigungslösung über Spülabfluss (99) gespült bzw. desinfiziert. Der Test der Filter (3/30) erfolgt bei geschlossenen Klappen (20/36) durch gefilterte Luftzuführung mittels Luftpumpe (6) und kann wahlweise durch Ventilschaltung die Sekundärseite des Filters (3) oder die Primärseite des Filters (30) mit Luft beaufschlagen. Dabei wird die Flüssigkeit partiell durch die Luft verdrängt. Durch den hydrophilen Charakter der Filtermembran wird bei intakter Filtercharakteristik nur ein sehr geringer Druckabfall erfolgen, der mittels Drucksensor (14) und Elektronik (58) registriert bzw. überwacht werden kann.When the rinsing solution flap (36) is closed and when a suitable rinsing program is selected and initiated, the device-side connector (35) is rinsed or disinfected with sterile liquid or cleaning solution via flushing outflow (99). The test of the filter (3/30) takes place with the valves (20/36) closed by filtered air supply by means of air pump (6) and can optionally by valve switching the secondary side of the filter (3) or the primary side of the filter (30) act on air. The liquid is partially displaced by the air. Due to the hydrophilic character of the filter membrane, only a very small pressure drop will take place when the filter characteristic is intact, which can be registered or monitored by means of a pressure sensor (14) and electronics (58).

Durch diesen Test können sowohl die Filter (3/30) als auch die Dichtheit der Klappen (20/ 36) verifiziert bzw. überprüft werden.Through this test, both the filters (3/30) and the tightness of the flaps (20/36) can be verified.

Ebenso ist in Figur 1 schematisch ein möglicher Transfer der Spülflüssigkeit zu einem endoskopischen System (57) dargestellt. Druckluftkonnektor (48) kann mittels flexibler Schlauchleitungen (49) an eine hauseigene Druckgasquelle angeschlossen werden.
Zur Gewährleistung eines konstanten Spülflüssigkeitsflusses beinhaltet die Druckregeleinheit (47) einen einstellbaren Druckregler (50), einen Not-Aus mit Pilztaste und Zwangsentlüftung (51), ein manuelles Druckbegrenzungsventil (52), eine Manometeranzeige (53) und einen elektronischen Druckaufnehmer (54), der wie alle Sensoren und Aktoren mittels redundanter Elektronik (58) ausgewertet und dargestellt werden kann.
Das Niederdruck-Regelventil (50) kann nur mittels Werkzeug verstellt werden. Die Druckregeleinheit (47) kann für einen Regelbereich von 0 bis 0,5bar ausgelegt werden und ist für den praktischen Einsatz auf 0,3 bar Förderdruck beispielsweise bei Prostata Operationen eingestellt. Die so geregelte Luft wird über Schlauchverbindung (66) in Druckbehälter (45) eingeleitet.
Likewise is in FIG. 1 schematically shows a possible transfer of the rinsing liquid to an endoscopic system (57). Compressed air connector (48) can be connected by means of flexible hose lines (49) to an in-house compressed gas source.
To ensure a constant flow of flushing fluid, the pressure control unit (47) includes an adjustable pressure regulator (50), a mushroom emergency release button (51), a manual pressure relief valve (52), a gauge gauge (53) and an electronic pressure transducer (54). the like all sensors and actuators by means of redundant electronics (58) can be evaluated and displayed.
The low pressure control valve (50) can only be adjusted by means of tools. The pressure control unit (47) can be designed for a control range from 0 to 0.5 bar and is set for practical use to 0.3 bar delivery pressure, for example, prostate surgery. The thus regulated air is introduced via hose connection (66) in pressure vessel (45).

Die Spülflüssigkeit in Beutel (82) wird durch den zugeführten Druck über Transferanschluss (55) und einem geeigneten Überleitsystem (56) zum endoskopischen System (57) gefördert.The rinsing liquid in bag (82) is conveyed by the supplied pressure via transfer port (55) and a suitable transfer system (56) to the endoscopic system (57).

Es versteht sich, dass an System (56) auch andere Einheiten als endoskopische Systeme anschließbar sind.
Zur Ergänzung wird festgestellt, dass an Leitung (55) ein weiterer hier nicht dargestellter Sterilfilter anschließbar wäre.
Ebenso bestünde die Möglichkeit, das geregelte Druckgasmedium direkt im Spüllösungsbeutel (41) einzuleiten.
It is understood that other units than endoscopic systems can also be connected to system (56).
In addition, it is stated that a further sterile filter, not shown here, could be connected to line (55).
It would also be possible to introduce the controlled pressure gas medium directly in the flushing solution bag (41).

Figur 2 verdeutlicht räumlich die Gesamteinheit einer Mischanlage bzw. Füllstation. Aufgrund der angenommenen räumlich beengten Verhältnisse im Krankenhaus wurde die Füllstation (60) möglichst flach konstruiert um die Durchgänge an Fluren bzw. in Räumlichkeiten nicht zu beeinträchtigen. Dies erfordert eine vertikale Bauweise der RO-Anlage (2) mit Membran (68), Vorlaufbehälter (69) und Pumpe (70). Dargestellt ist auch ein Reinigungskanister (67).

Zur vollständigen Spülung des Konnektors (35) drückt die Dichtung (94) bei geschlossener Klappe formschlüssig auf den Außenkonus (95) des Konnektors (35). Die Spülflüssigkeit gelangt über Anschluss (29) über den Innenkegel (88) zum Spülraum (103) und von dort über die umfangseitig angebrachten Spülbohrungen (98) des Konnektors (35) in den Ringspalt (97), von dem der Spülabfluss (99) erfolgt.
The flap swings upwards. This is supported by excavation spring (102), which engages laterally of the pivot point (101).
For complete flushing of the connector (35) presses the seal (94) with the flap closed positively on the outer cone (95) of the connector (35). The rinsing liquid passes via connection (29) via the inner cone (88) to the rinsing chamber (103) and from there via the circumferentially mounted rinsing bores (98) of the connector (35) into the annular gap (97) from which the rinsing drain (99) takes place ,

Aus Gründen der Verwechslungssicherheit für die Anwendung wurde die technische Ausführung der Spüllösungsanschlüsse unterschiedlich zu denen der Konzentratanschlüsse konstruiert.For reasons of security of confusion for the application, the technical design of the flushing solution connections was designed differently from those of the concentrate connections.

Unter der Spüllösungsklappe (36) befindet sich ein Spüllösungskonnektor (35) ausgeführt beispielsweise mit einem Innenkegel (88) 1zu 16 und einem zweigängigem Außengewinde 13x8. Am Spüllösungsbeutel (41), der als Einmalartikel ausgeführt ist, befindet sich die Füllleitung (39) mit Einmalkonnektor (38), der als männlicher Konnektor beispielsweise mit frei drehbarer Überwurfmutter mit Innengewinde 13x8 und einem innenliegenden Aussenkegel 1zu16 so ausgestattet ist, dass im gekoppelten Zustand eine formschlüssige, dichtende Verbindung durch die beiden Kegel und Gewinde gewährleistet ist. In die Füllleitung (39) kann eine Schlauchklemme (72) montiert werden.Underneath the rinsing solution flap (36) is a rinsing solution connector (35) made, for example, with an inner cone (88) 1 to 16 and a double-threaded external thread 13x8. The flushing solution bag (41), which is designed as disposable article, is the filling line (39) with disposable connector (38), which is equipped as a male connector, for example with freely rotatable cap nut with internal thread 13x8 and an inner outer cone 1zu16 so that in the coupled state a positive, sealing connection is ensured by the two cones and threads. In the filling line (39), a hose clamp (72) can be mounted.

Dabei zeigt die Figur 5 schematisch den Spüllösungsbeutel (82) der aus einem mehrlagigen, toxikologisch unbedenklichen Material - vorzugsweise PE-Folie - besteht.It shows the FIG. 5 schematically the flushing solution bag (82) of a multilayer, toxicologically acceptable material - preferably PE film - consists.

Der Beutel (82) hat eine rechteckige, geschweißte Kontur in die einseitig eine Beutel- und Konnektoraufnahme (107) kreisförmig in die Folie eingeschweißt ist. Die Konnektoraufnahme (107) ist innenseitig radial mit mindestens 2 Rastzähnen (110) versehen, in die der Konnektor (83) so eingepresst wird, sodass eine formschlüssige, dichtende, unlösbare Verpressung (109) entsteht.The bag (82) has a rectangular, welded contour into which one side a bag and connector receptacle (107) is welded circular in the film. The connector receptacle (107) is internally provided radially with at least two ratchet teeth (110), in which the connector (83) is pressed so that a positive, sealing, non-releasable compression (109) is formed.

Der Konnektor (83) ist in Figur 5 zweiteilig ausgeführt, wobei auch einteilige, ähnliche Geometrien im Rahmen der Erfindung möglich sind. In der dargestellten Version besteht Konnektor (83) aus einem Vorderteil (114), dessen wesentliche Bestandteile die Schlauchklebestellen (116), in die innerhalb und außerhalb die Transfer- und Füllleitungen vorzugsweise eingeklebt sind, sowie der Bund (119) für die Haltenut (87) und Rastzähne (117).
Zum leichteren Einführen in die Konnektor-Aufnahme (78) des Deckels (44) beinhaltet das Vorderteil (114) einen Anschnitt (121). Rückwärtig ist eine Aufnahme (118) für den Knickschutz (115) der inneren Leitungen (111, 113) vorgesehen.
The connector (83) is in FIG. 5 executed in two parts, with one-piece, similar geometries are possible within the scope of the invention. In the illustrated version connector (83) consists of a front part (114), the essential components of the hose splices (116), in which the transfer and filling lines are preferably glued inside and outside, and the collar (119) for the retaining groove (87 ) and ratchet teeth (117).
For ease of insertion into the connector receptacle (78) of the lid (44), the front portion (114) includes a gate (121). At the rear, a receptacle (118) for the kink protection (115) of the inner conduits (111, 113) is provided.

Im eingebauten Zustand wird der Beutelkonnektor (83) vertikal mit Konnektorverriegelung (79) in Haltenut (87) befestigt.When installed, the bag connector (83) is fastened vertically with connector lock (79) in retaining groove (87).

Bei geschlossenem Deckel (44) erfolgt eine Verdrehung des Beutels (82) um ca. 90° gegen den Konnektor (83) und damit auch eine Lageveränderung der inneren Transfer- (111) und Füllleitung (113). Der Knickschutz (115) beinhaltet Schlauchführungen (129), die ein eventuelles Abknicken derselben verhindern sollen.When the cover (44) is closed, the bag (82) is rotated by approximately 90 ° relative to the connector (83) and thus also a change in position of the inner transfer (111) and filling line (113). The anti-kink (115) includes hose guides (129), which should prevent any kinking of the same.

Die Transferleitung (111) schließt am unteren Ende mit einem Schlauchgewicht (112) ab, welches an allen Außenseiten Konturen aufweist, um zum einen eine vollständige Entleerung des Beutels bei zusammengedrückter Folie zu gewährleisten und um einem eventuellen Auftrieb der Transferleitung (111) entgegenzuwirken.The transfer line (111) closes at the lower end with a hose weight (112) which has contours on all outer sides in order to ensure complete emptying of the bag when the film is compressed and to counteract any lift of the transfer line (111).

Zur Vermeidung einer Berührungskontaminierung können die Konnektoren (55) und (38) Schutzkappen (122) mit Öffnungen für die Begasungen zwecks Sterilität beinhalten.To avoid touch contamination, connectors (55) and (38) may include protective gaskets (122) for fumigation for sterility.

Die Folien des Beutels (82) sind umfangsseitig so verschweißt, dass ein Schweißsteg von min. größer 2 mm vorliegt um eine Ruptur zu vermeiden.The films of the bag (82) are circumferentially welded so that a welding bar of min. greater than 2 mm is present to avoid a rupture.

Bereits dargestellt in Figur 3 ist eine mögliche Faltung des Beutels (82), die ein leichteres Einlegen in die Druckbehälteröffnung (77) ermöglicht.Already shown in FIG. 3 is a possible folding of the bag (82), which allows easier insertion into the pressure vessel opening (77).

Wobei Beutel (82) auch in andere als in der Beschreibung dargestellten Kontur bzw. Form ausführbar ist. So ist es z.B. möglich die beiden Anschlüsse des Konnektors (83) stirnseitig, also an der Oberseite des Beutels (82) anzubringen, bzw. ganz auf den Konnektor (83) zu verzichten und die Anschlüsse (39/55) direkt oberseitig einzuschweißen. Es ist dann eine andere formschlüssige Abdichtung einzusetzen. Darüber ist bei Einsatz einer zusätzlichen in den Figuren nicht dargestellten Pumpe eine Zirkulation der im Beutel befindlichen Flüssigkeit über die beiden Anschlüsse des Konnektors (83) durchführbar, um Homogenität, Temperatur oder eine bereits im Beutel befindlichen Flüssigkeit zu verbessern bzw. aufzubereiten. Die Anschlüsse sind dabei der Strömungsrichtung der Pumpe bzw. dem Zweck entsprechend zu konnektieren.Wherein bag (82) is also executable in other than the description shown contour or shape. So it is e.g. possible to attach the two connections of the connector (83) at the front, ie at the top of the bag (82), or completely dispense with the connector (83) and weld the terminals (39/55) directly on top. It is then to use another form-fitting seal. In addition, when using an additional pump, not shown in the figures, a circulation of the liquid in the bag via the two terminals of the connector (83) feasible to improve homogeneity, temperature or a liquid already in the bag or prepare. The connections are to be connected according to the flow direction of the pump or the purpose.
